ns a tarot cafe in her late Kabbalist grandfather's rural Nebraska town, she's up against more than just the conservative townsfolk-there's a killer on the loose.

Ava Goldberg's life in suburban Chicago was perfect-until it wasn't. Eager to leave her cheating ex-husband behind and reclaim her independence, Ava opens a tarot cafe in the tiny, cornfield-laced town of Shiloh. Although finding her place in Shiloh as a tarot reader-and the only Jewish person-brings more tsuris than Ava bargained for, she hopes that with the support of her childhood friend, Rose, she can pull through. But when a body winds up in the Main Street fountain and Rose's husband, Joel, is the primary suspect, the whole town is thrown into chaos.

Armed with her tarot deck and a whole lot of chutzpah, Ava sets out to gather the evidence she needs to clear Joel's name and keep her friend's family intact. With her struggling shop just barely afloat and constant reminders of her past creeping in, Ava enlists the help of Owen, the dashing hardware store owner she can't seem to get rid of, to track down the killer. But as their hunt continues, it becomes clear the town harbors more than a few secrets-and that someone will stop at nothing to keep them buried.
